Release Notes v7.2.x

Grafana Releases
1

The recent 7.0 major release contained a lot of new features, so the Grafana 7.2 release is focused on smoothing out some rough edges and improvements of the new features.

Release Highlights

  • Starting from this version you can finally customize how you want to format the date and time values presented in Grafana.
  • By using a column override rule you can now unlock the possibility to apply column filters directly, on the fly, in the Table panel.
  • A new “group-by” transformation has been added that gives you the possibility to group data based on one or multiple fields. You can also generate new fields by applying calculations onto the values in each group.
  • We have added the possibility to reorder your transformations which makes it super easy to insert new transformations into an existing configuration.
